How to stop the screen lighting up.

[jrvenge]

Hi all, just got myself a LG GWatch R, and loving it so far...

Just a couple of questions...

1: The screen keeps lighting up when i move my arm?, this is causing extra battery drain and i dont want this to happen, ive already set the screen to always on in ambient mode so wht does it keep turning on to full?

2: It keeps saying google now is not available even though its connected? Annoying.

3: The same cards keep appearing even though i have swiped them away. Why?

Updated yes, reset why? its a feature of the watch that needs to have a disable option. Its supposed to do it, but i dont want it to.

1) You can no do that. Just mute notification by swipe down watch status bar, it mute notification and disable the lightin up movement.

2) It need BT connected watch/phone AND valid internet connection on phone.

3) card appear when phone send notification. If card appearing after swipe, it is your phone wich notify again.

1: STUPID, I dont want to turn my buzzer of to stop the screen lighting up.
2: All is connected but the watch does it constantly.
3: Cards dont appear on phone just constantly on the watch?

which particular card is annoying you? i do find the light up mechanism is annoying as if i turn my wrist to do something and the screen just light up.

i wish google or LG is able to come up a new features to stop the auto light up function by movement. on pebble, you can disable such function...why google cannot..

Well I tried emailing them about it. But after sitting there for half an hour entering crap just to send an email I gave up.

I'm on holiday this week. And I keep getting a card saying holiday all day. But this keeps popping up about 20 times a day. Doesn't appear on the phone just the watch.

According to the screenshots in this article covering the upcoming Android Wear 5.0 Lollipop, we will be able to disable the wake gesture!
have a close look at the screenshots of the AW phone app, there is an option "Tilt to wake screen"

the holiday is mark in your google calendar? if you didnt connect the phone with watch..did it happen?

 

[jrvenge]

No its coming from the phone. But I don't understand why it appears all the time instead of once

I would also like it too not light up every time I move! I have turned off all gestures and tilt to wake but it still lights up. Just want to tell the time not let everyone know im wearing a smartwatch.
